Did you hear about Tough-as-nails Vietnam veteran giving a kidney to save his war buddy's life? (Click the link above for the full story)

Good news story about what it really means to bond with a fellow veteran for life!

RP Members do you hold that bond with a fellow veteran and would you make this type of sacrifice? Think hard and search deep!

They say the bonds you make with your fellow soldiers in war last a lifetime — and John Middaugh and Henry "Bill" Warner know about that bond all too well.

Their friendship began in March 1968 at Fort Carson, Colorado, and is still going strong today.

So strong that when Warner's kidneys failed after he had open heart surgery, Middaugh stepped in to donate his kidney to his beloved Vietnam buddy.

Now that is really love....giving a kidney to save a friend. "Greater love hath no man than this, to lay down one's life for a friend..."

Bonds forged in battle run deep.
That is a solid man, right there.
